Bitcoin directory script - free download

[luke.watson]

View it here : http://cdkey-hut.com/directory/

Github repo : https://github.com/Lukewatson12/bitcoin-directory

^{If you don't have github download as a ZIP - instructions are the same}

The script is rather easy to setup and will allow you to handle taking Bitcoin payments in exchange for listings on your site's directory.

Setup

Your first step is to download the script

Secondly extract the script and open the 'Files' folder, in here is the body for the script.

Navigate to the config.php file which can be found under lib/config.php

You will need to setup all of the Constants found here, it is important you fill them all out and use correct information as they are used all over the site!

Now you'll need to upload the script to your web server. If you have any errors please post them on this forum post for me to take a look at.

Finally run the SQL script that came with the ZIP file (bitcoinDirectory.sql)

Your site should be ready to run!

https://i.imgur.com/GqOI5fz.png - Admin homepage - Recent Listings
https://i.imgur.com/1dQK51M.png - Admin homepage - New listings (Accept/Decline)
https://i.imgur.com/MdccaZh.png - Admin categories - Filter through available categories [$x] number shows number of sub categories contained

Design
- Responsive!

Notes
- I don't plan forcing signup for the site to submit entries, instead a captcha form will be used to deter spammers and perhaps a small nominal fee for all listings (optional)
- I will try to keep the design as basic as possible so it is easy to change and customise

If you have any suggestions or ideas please let me know I'm open anything

Luke

[Mooshire]

Seems like a good idea, keep up the work.

[luke.watson]

I have the tiered menu working now - you can navigate through all the menu options

Upgrading the site to bootstrap 3 from 2 so I might be setback a bit with syntax changes

[ninjaboon]

how do I download this? I don't see any download link.

[luke.watson]

how do I download this? I don't see any download link.

Still in a alpha phase - only have the menu and directory listings working still have to do the admin side


And because I just updated to bootstrap 3.0 there is a few design changes that need to be done

[luke.watson]

Working approve + decline entries

Icons in right hand corner of each entry will show whether the user has;

- Paid for their entry (Bitcoin)
- Paid for a premium entry (Star)
- Paid for a featured entry (Trophy)

New listings will show the total number of unapproved listings to the right of the tab title

That's pretty much all the updates for today

[escrow.ms]

Pretty nice script man.

[Cyrus]

Looks good!

I know migrating to Bootstrap 3 can be a bit of a hassle, it's still RC1 and I hope they don't change the syntax even more before a stable version.
You could try adding a custom.css and a do a bit of modifications so it won't be 100% Bootstrap.

[Mooshire]

Bootstrap is like pressing a button that makes your site instantly 10x sexier. Guaranteed.

[defaced]

Is this going to be open source?

[luke.watson]

@ Cyrus

The site is all bootstrap 3 (RC1) I have fixed all the migration issues, of cause if they change the syntax more as they release newer versions I will update the script as needed

@ defaced

The project will be a free script to which anyone is free to edit and customize. I haven't looked into copyrighting and public licencing but I plan on making a free base script and make plugins which I can sell for a nominal fee to unlock features like google mapping and ratings

This is what I currently plan at least, if you think an open source project would be better, let me know why and I'll see if it would be worth making it open source

Luke

[luke.watson]

Would people be interested if I did a prerelease so people can view the code and perhaps make their own customisation?
The script still has a while to go but it is a rather stable release, when I have submissions working I am more than happy to let people have a play with it

Cool I'll see if I can have it patched up and working (to a degree) and I'll let you know when it's ready to be tested, hopefully later tonight or tomorrow


Btw do you know any good hosting sites I could put the zip file on?

P.S due to the captcha files the total size is > 7MB - without the captcha < 200KB - I will try and find a smaller one for the actual release

* YOU MIGHT GET SQL ERRORS *
_{I tried to find all sql errors I could ie tables don't exist - I might not have found them all so please let me know if the code breaks}

* THIS IS FAR FROM COMPLETION *
_{This project is a while away from production please only use the script below to test the system}


** New download below **

Error : there is an error on place-listing.php file - on line 31 replace $_SESSION['$featured'] with $_SESSION['featured']

There's more than just one error in the script I'm working on a more stable release that should be ready by tonight

Code:

placeListing($_SESSION['siteName'], $_SESSION['siteUrl'], $_SESSION['siteDescription'], $_SESSION['category'], $_SESSION['premium'], $_SESSION['featured']);

Link to the project - sorry about the folder spam

To install you will need to either have online hosting or local host

Import the directory.sql into your phpmyadmin or whatever you use

Copy the directory files to your server/local directory

Load up the webpage - if nothing loads try domain/directory/index.php

Access admin via domain/directory/admin/[index.php]

Please let me know if you find any bugs or if you have any ideas

This is not stable for a live and production site - it is likely full of bugs and exploits so please dont use it in production yet

Luke

[luke.watson]

Does anyone know any good file upload scripts?

[rammy2k2]

keep up the good work, ill sure make a donation once its done!

Having 100 copycat directory sites doesn't solve much, in fact it probably creates more problems in that you're promoting less resources concentrated to each directory site.

What is really needed is a way for your open source directory to easily link to other instances of itself so disparate directory owners can "link up" and share/merge listings between each other.  Maybe some Json RPC interface or something.

He's providing a base script like many other scripts. People need to change design themselves and use it for different niche.

[luke.watson]

I think having a free directory script is like having a free faucet script, they're not needed by any means, but they mutually beneficial to the Bitcoin businesses and consumers, for a start there is only a handful of Bitcoin directories, some of which charge up to BTC20 for a listing which is absolutely crazy, no directory listing it worth 2k

As escrow stated it is just a base directory, I don't use or know anything about Json RPC nor know how I would use it to connect all the directories together. However, you are more than welcome to edit the script to include this functionality if you wish to

The idea is to really push Bitcoin on the web - lots of directories means lots of places businesses can submit their sites to get traffic. They won't hit #1 on google just from directory submissions but it will help

And anyway, it's free so if anyone has spare hosting space it's something that could make them some easy money on the side

i also feel this way.

[luke.watson]

Currently working on image upload for listings

It's a bit of a mess but it is almost working (slight issue with form resubmission reuploading the image I might have to ask for a bit of help with this if it turns out to be an issue)

I will try and get this working then all is required is admin customisation ie how much a listing will cost and duration of the listing and working out how to take payments

Hopefully I will have a working model by the end of the month which people can download and run

Hey I run http://btcpages.net A free online btc directory, we have very similar looking sites and I've noticed you want to create a script for anyone to use it. I'd be more then willing to help you out. PM if you have any specific needs or questions!

The script is almost done, I'm having some real trouble setting up payments though!

I don't know if anyone is familiar with bitpay's API but if anyone wants to lend a hand I'd really appreciate it

u can try https://inputs.io/ too

[defaced]

Can there be an option to just use the daemon rather then bitpay? Its just as easy.

[luke.watson]

I can integrate any payment system you want

But you will need to give me a hand, if I cant use Bitpay I doubt there's much chance I can setup bitcoind

[tspacepilot]

Maybe there's more to this than I first realized!

Hopefully so !


If anyone would like to help me finish this I would really appreciate it - offering 0.2 BTC reward for help setting up payments

I could lend a hand with BIPS.me

[Dabs]

@luke. I'd like a cold wallet option or something that works like this:

1. script has a data file with a bunch of pre-generated bitcoin addresses
2. when a user wants to pay, script grabs one from the file
3. script then monitors the file on blockchain waiting for confirmation
4. script alerts directory owner and waits for owner to approve
5. when script detects that less than a certain number of addresses remain, also alerts owner.

Owner can then go and generate a few hundred to a few thousand addresses, put them in the file, and wait until the file needs replenishment. All addresses are cold, and will need manual processing.

This should be easier than trying to interface with a live daemon or bitcoind or something (except to watch the wallet or use walletnotify.)

Does that make sense?

[rammy2k2]

any news on this ?

[luke.watson]

any news on this ?

Yes it's very close

I have payments almost setup, I had someone help me out, I havent managed to have a successful test but I will have a proper go at setting it up this weekend

I really hope I can get this released soon as I'm sure you do too

Really sorry guys been very busy at work...

Going to see if I can actually get this finished soon!

Sorry again!

[rammy2k2]

any updates?

[luke.watson]

So apologies for the silence, I almost have this setup with Blockchain's API

I've spent a bit of time cleaning it up but a full clean up will no doubt be required when I set it live.

Note : I take absolutely no liability for loss of funds or damaged sites or even reputation for using the script. That said I have tried to make sure it is as secure as possible..

Will update when it's finished

[defaced]

Looking good so far, I'm going to install this and play around with it, possibly port if for FRK.

[luke.watson]
